What is the purpose of resource group regions?

You can create a resource group – define it as in "South Brasil" then proceed to add VMs that are US East 1 in it.  What is the point specifying the region if seemingly has no referential enforcement or relation to resources?

Hi Ian,

That is a really good question. Technically a resource groups needs a region, as there is certain meta data associated with the resource group, and it has to live somewhere. While you can certainly add resources from any other region to a resource group, it is a good practice to think about this more logically. Use resource groups to make logic groups in your resources. This could be via region, or it could some other way.

Cheers,
Lars
